Smartest guy on Bluesky - at least that’s what my Mom says.
Hey wait, I said “smartest guy on bluesky”. I’m a poet and I didn’t even realize it!

TODAY, UCP government denied the Chief Electoral Officer a supplemental budget required to prepare a referendum on Alberta’s separation from Canada.
Is #ForeverCanadian safe to presume that this is an indication that no such referendum will take place?

Remember when Danielle Smith condemned the "arrogance" of a government for passing laws in a matter of days?
Now she's rammed through a law stripping teachers' charter rights in a single day.
Seems the "democratic process" no longer matters to her now that she's in power.

..public money for education has increased by about 4% per year, charter schools have seen funding of closer to 16%. I'm not against private and charter schools in principle. But like most teachers, I find it impossible to support increasing funding for them..

The amount of shit I got for this segment at the time was astronomical, and it was all from people who now stalk CVS employees to get them fired for insufficient online sadness.

What's that topic you wrote an essay or did a presentation about in high school that you still get excited about whenever you see it mentioned?

The Premier said the policy change was done for MLA and staff safety and security reasons. They sure have trouble keeping their stories straight.
"The other excuse Alberta Finance gave was that the new rules would 'bring Alberta’s policies into alignment with other provinces.’ It’s the equivalent of 'But, mom, everybody else is doing it'"

@jeff-gluck.bsky.social I’m definitely in the longer post race show camp.
Prime Video says its postrace show at Pocono retained 43 percent of the actual audience from the race. Hopefully the success of the postrace coverage will show other networks that NASCAR fans prefer more postrace coverage vs. a longer pre-race show.
